The news comes after it was revealed the Sixers forward had lower back soreness and was originally listed as questionable.

With Zhaire Smith and Jerryd Bayless still out, and Mike Muscala now sidelined at least a week with a fractured nose, the team needs all the positive injury news they can get. Fortunately, there doesn’t to be any restrictions on Covington either, so he should be a full-go for the Eastern Conference matchup.
